Stewart, Rod - The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar Lyrics
Prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement
Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the innocent
Felt around for the light switch, became nauseated
She was walking down the hallway while the walls deteriorated
I see the burning of the page
Curtain risin' on a new age
See the groom still waitin' at the altar
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me
About the madness of becomin' what one was never meant to be
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar
Curtain risin' on a new age
See the groom still waitin' at the altar
Don't know what I can say about Claudette that wouldn't come back to haunt me
Finally had to give her up 'bout the time she began to want me
But I know God has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated
I'd a-done anything for that woman if she didn't make me feel so obligated
West of the Jordan, west of the Rock of Gibraltar
I see the burning of the cage
Curtain risin' on a new stage
See the groom still waitin' at the altar
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture
There's a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it
Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won't have the power to keep it
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar
I see the burning of the stage
Curtain risin' on a new age
See the groom still waitin' at the altar
Cities on fire, phones out of order
They're killing nuns and soldiers, there's fighting on the border
What can I say about Claudette? Ain't seen her since January
She could be respectably married or running a whorehouse in Buenos Aires
West of the Jordan, west of the Rock of Gibraltar
I see the burning of the stage
Curtain risin' on a new age
See the groom still waitin' at the altar

Crazy good

Rod #sessions
Must hear the original master...Bob Dylan live from " Trouble No More "...
wow! it s dreffrent
He's such a bloody great rock singer.
Elkie Brooks is better.
Yes, without a doubt. She's not afraid to give it all she's got. Not scared of enthusiasm!
Best version is by Elkie Brooks. IMO
Dylan's is by far the best--the band and the passion he brings to the song far exceeds this woman doing it as some kind of torch song. She misses the whole point of the song.
No , you are totally wrong . Elkie Brooks sings the arse of this. I don't think you know what a torch song means.
Agree. Of course Dylan's version is best but hers is terrific, much better than Rod's
Great version of a song composed or performed by Bob Dylan. Part of The Bob Dylan Project. Twitter: https://twitter.com/BobDylanProject Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBobDylanProject Email: [email protected]
